UNSPSC 85681661: Removal of internal fixation device from facial bone, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from facial bone, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0NPW34Z

UNSPSC 85681661 Removal of internal fixation device from facial bone, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure for orthopedic device removal, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it focus on occupational and disability medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical benefit programs—none of which involve orthopedic device extraction or percutaneous facial surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) procures occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services. The Long Beach surgery benefit carve-out (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) addresses bundled payment networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures—broader surgical benefit structuring rather than specific device removal.

The code appears to be misclassified at the commodity level for these opportunities and shows no concrete demand signal for orthopedic facial implant extraction services. State and local medical procurement in recent weeks concentrates on benefits administration, occupational health compliance, temporary staffing, and medical evaluation infrastructure rather than surgical procedures themselves. Unless the source data reflects a cataloging error, the code does not present a meaningful market for pursuit under current activity.
